Toros trade for Dentmon, select handful of guards on draft night

Many expected former Phoenix Suns forward Alando Tucker to be headed to the Capitol city with the Austin Toros’ second overall pick in the 2011 D-League Draft.

Just before draft night started, the Toros (San Antonio Spurs’ D-League affiliate) decided to shake things up, by hipping the rights to the second pick to the Texas Legends in return for guard Justin Dentmon.

Dentmon, a 6-foot guard out of Washington. averaged 19.1 points, four assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game for the Legends last season.
